Apple’s ‘Let It Loose’ event is just a week away, the company should unveil at least three new iPad Pro models: an iPad Pro and a lengthier iPad Air alternative. These are anticipated to come with new accessories, with the debut of the Apple Pencil 3 stylus proving particularly promising. In the most recent installment of his weekly Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now shone a light on specific potential improvements to Apple’s forthcoming new Pencil.

According to him, it’s possible that the Pencil will include something called haptic feedback. Although haptic feedback was not defined, incorporating haptic feedback into the Pencil would make utilizing it feel much more natural to users. Because the Pencil now lacks the distinctive feedback you get when writing on paper.
It is not evident how the haptic feedback could be used for the Apple Pencil 3. However, this feature alone might be a substantial improvement to the product if it would work to simulate a wide range of real-life interactions, such as pen on paper or the feedback of various kinds of art. Other possible features found in the iPadOS hint at new gestures include the Apple Pencil 3 new “squeeze.” While these codes are likely based on the other core pressure detection, they could trigger some actions.
There are also rumors that squeezing the stylus in the middle might activate the so-called “contextual” menu and allow you to quickly select figurines, stickers, or text that you can add to the canvas, but this phrase is too vague. It is still unclear whether additional gestures will be available or if even one, the simplest squeeze of a hand, will significantly increase the stylus’s functionality.
Furthermore, there are also suggestions that the new Apple Pencil will be provided with interchangeable magnetic tipping. Some users need wide and insensitive stylus tips, while others feel more comfortable working with incredibly thin pens. Also, there is a guess that the Apple Pencil 3 will soon be possible to control the Apple Vision Pro.
